Honda Rebel 500 looks nice. Plenty in Thailand.

Is Honda Rebel 500 coming?

AP or not, as long as it come (legally of course ), I'll get it

Maybe not many potential rider / buyer... Need B Full to ride legally. So, for those who have B Full, one most probably jump straight to 500 than 300.

Similar situation with Z300 ABS. Need B full to ride.

Yah, partly due to our B Full requirement. Not many have it. Most license holder 'stuck' with 250cc and below. And it's not cheap to get B full either (RM1k to RM1.5k).

Preview for Rebel 500

Next weekend.

Get B full first, bigger bike can wait.

From B2 to B full

Get L, no need for computer test.

Clock in for 'training' for 16 hours,

Take the JPJ test.

Done.

Just get yourself familiar with any big cc bike like ER6N bike.

B full no that difficult. You only have to 'sacrifice' your money (RM1k++) & time (4-5 weeks).

Nice

I'm waiting for this one. According to Welly Subang, it'll be on our market next month. RM31k+++

CBR500 engine - proven engine. More than enough for town ride & occasional weekend leisure ride. Not for super spirited sprint though.

The engine was retune for lower RPM torque...

Thanks for the K Speed Plenty customs parts... REasonably priced.

Wait until Rebel is here...

Two practical classes - It's just to familiarises with the JPJ test course (titi, cone, etc). Nothing about real riding big cc bike. If you're used to ride 250cc, then it should be no issue at all. Most riding school use ER6N. Easy to ride.


Vulcan S can be considered 'big' brother. Bigger in everything. Price wise not much different. It's all up to the one whose acquiring cruiser / bobber bike.

It depends on you but 2 learning session might not be enough for you. How about you get a package with unlimited learning lesson until you pass? Peace of money

It depends on you... If you haven ride any big bike before, 2 lessons might be not enough.

Metro Subang is having a promotion RM1007 B Full package until you pass, all inclusive... Peace of mind.

Yup, free xdot helmet + high visibility vest. My son (17 years old, taking B full) is learning with them now.

As an old rider myself, I never let my boy touch my bike until he got his L. His first time riding big bike is on his first day B Full session, straight ride ER6N. 2 times try the 'titi', then all good to go. He got another class to go before the JPJ test.


I do not own Vulcan but my ex office mate do. He commute daily from Shah Alam to Jasin, Melaka for the past 2 years, he was transferred 2 years ago. His Vulcan S a bit beaten up, very high mileage but still in pristine condition. He told me it's okay, but he don't like it when there's heavy traffic jam.


How about Rebel 500?

What I heard, Rebel 500 price will be RM32k+++ . Ya, price wise, Vulcan S should be value for money. It's all depends on one's personal taste in this kind of bike.

Rebel is smaller and way lighter (188kg vs 225kg). Should be easier to handle for smaller rider like me. I did try my friend's Vulcan S. It's heavy.

Is it legal to change the general appearance of the bike? JPJ wont get 'mad'?

Scared JPJ will make a fuss about it... If anything happen, the insurance also will make it a reason not to honour any claim. The'll say it's against JPJ LAW...

Sat on Rebel 500 today at Art of Speed. Hnnnggghh

Definitely will get one

The weight, seating posture, all good (for me as shorty person ).
